Particle number and size, not just cholesterol amount.

Your cholesterol numbers are fine and your family history isn't. NMR counts the LDL particles and sizes them, which is where risk hides when the standard panel looks normal. $125 is all-in. No draw fees, no physician fees, no surprise bills. Results usually in 1–2 business days, in your secure online account.

Understanding Your Results

A high LDL particle number with a normal LDL cholesterol means many small particles and higher risk than the standard panel shows. Small-dense LDL and low HDL particle numbers point the same way. Review with a clinician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast?
Yes, 8 to 12 hours, water only.
NMR or ApoB?
They answer similar questions; ApoB is cheaper and simpler, NMR adds particle size. Many clinicians are happy with either.
How fast are results?
Usually 1–2 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order?
No. A licensed physician reviews and authorizes every order we send, so you can order it yourself and take the result to your own clinician.
